| Description | CHICAGO Jim Traficant -- the former Ohio Democratic congressman likely remembered as much for his elaborate hair style and Star Trek references in speeches as for his conviction on bribery -- is out of jail with a new job: newspaper columnist.
Fittingly, Traficant's new outlet, American Free Press, is not exactly part of the mainstream media, but a Washington, D.C.-based weekly that proclaims "the media is the enemy."
Traficant takes up the theme in his first column, entitled "Quarterback, Congressman -- and Now a Convict."
The mainstream media, he declares, "distorts the truth" and "in many instances is controlled and influenced by foreign entities." |
